The story of Valois Burgundy is one of the most exciting of the Late Middle Ages.

During Burgundy's height its Dukes were seen by many as the equals of Kings and Emperors and their court was at the center of Western Europe's cultural and political development. And then it all fell apart. Please join me as I explore the history and legacy of this forgotten kingdom.more Host Josh Zucker
